I thought that there would be
no further updates to the Station Rd page - I was wrong. About a year on from
when the scheme started, on the 5th November 2005, I noticed that several of the
columns along the tree-lined part of the road had been fitted with outreach
brackets in order to move the lantern away from the trees, in order that more light
would reach the ground. Some of the lanterns are still obscured however, so no
doubt some other method will be tried at some point! The photographs were all
taken on Friday, 11th November.

The first example I pictured is
the column on page 4 - I don't think the bracket has made a lot of difference in
this case!

The second example is of a column
that I hadn't pictured during the replacement work - in this case, the bracket
probably has improved things.

Finally, what better column to
picture than the last one that has had a bracket fitted - plus it is the column
where my EMI Alpha 1 came from, 35454. From the side I used in the past, the
lantern looks to be in a tree, however it is clearer if viewed the other way.
